This week we went to the Discovery Museum with Lauren's preschool class. It really is such a fun place to visit, and the kids had a blast. The museum is set up in stations, so the kids can go from place to place to learn and try different things. Here they are in the bug station, learning about bees, and checking out the honeycomb.
One of the rooms is set up like a Native American village, with drums, Tee pees, real animal skins, and a camp fire. The kids obviously LOVED the drums, the moms, not so much...but the tee pees were a close second.
Lauren and Collin liked trying out the pulley system. It is set up so you can fill a bin full of apples, and then use a pulley to get them to a tree house up above. Dallin just liked throwing the apples.
In the medical station, the kids played in an ambulance, and got to try out all the equipment. They loved looking at the X-rays and guessing which animal it was. They also enjoyed trying on the fireman gear.
Claire spent most of her morning in the stroller. She was happy just to be along for the ride.
Another room is set up with different types of ramps. Using golf balls the kids can try to roll them down and shoot them into targets. Again, Dallin mainly liked throwing the golf balls. :)
Lauren proved to be an awesome climber, as she braved the rock wall. It was a great morning. Thanks Miss Barb and Miss Melissa!
